I Don’t Feel Like I’ve Done Enough To Bolster The Self-Esteem Of Gay Black Men

Out for a drive this evening, I listened to a heart-breaking segment on NPR about the low self-esteem of young gay black men.

They say that when they are out with their own people, they are often called negative names.

This drives them to randomly sodomize other young gay black men without paying any heed to the transmission of HIV, which is apparently rampant about them.

If only society, if only Orthodox Jews, if only I could do more to bolster the self-esteem of this group, they’d be less likely to sodomize themselves to death.

Jim Jones emails:

"…if only I could do more to bolster the self-esteem of this group, they’d be less likely to sodomize themselves to death. Perhaps I could fasten down my fear of the Negro long enough to flirt with these black homosexuals and show them the same interest I used to show my dear mates when I was a lad. Perhaps I could offer myself as some sort of lily-white sacrifice to to the primitive embrace of jungle love. Perhaps I could invite some of these saucy blackamoors over to my hovel where we could watch the type of ultra-feminine movies I’m always crowing about like a fair-dinkum jackdaw. Or perhaps I could just wank off to some gay, black pornography. In any case, it’s a win-win scenario. Mainly for me, mates!"
